Difficulties analyzing data; different view on what roles and functions are included within sectors making mapping difficult
Due to demographic of student location taken the national view into consideration, greater focus on midlands, Yorkshire and Humber as students tend to stay in or move to these areas.
Mixed messages and data, manufacturing down nationally but booming in the midlands, some areas maybe expanding but it does mean graduate level roles such as HSC, however general move to up skilling the work force but not the pay, what constitutes a graduate level job, outside of the professions and specialisms e.g. engineering – vague
Porfessional services , transport, construction, IT, tourism, finance, arts and entertainment whole sale and retail
HS2 – construction and engineering – infrastructure provide jobs and communters
Encite – technology and engineering
D2N2 – bio-science, food and drink, construction, transport, visitor economy
D2EE – low carbon and reduced energy costs
Logistics; East mids airport, amazon, Great Bear, Alloga, The cooperative, UPS, DHL, TNT, Royal Mail
EU workers make up 700,000 of the workforce

HSC getting into the sector requires experience which is voluntary or you do a degree, a lot of people have degrees but it is not a requirement of the job.
